Makan: Italiannies

~ nice smooth tiramisu ... mmmm ~

I’ve been to this restaurant a couple of times, mostly at the 1-Utama new wing and I liked the place a lot … generous portions of Italian stuff … and the most delectable tiramisu … so yesterday for a family dinner, with dad, mum, piggy, granny & Chloe (the girl my mum baby-sits), when we could not go to Marche (they had a buffet spread promotion, which we were not interested) … we just walked further down the Curve for Italiannies … it’s new & I’ve not tried this place yet

We had pizza, mussels, salad, bruschetta & tiramisu to wash down the meal … pizza was ok … you know it’s a pizza from a restaurant & not the factory mill pizzas like Dominos or Pizza Hut … the salad was great … fresh, good mix of green with calamari, & not too much dressing … bruschetta was great as the bread was fresh … and served with generous garnishing … so what’s left was the tiramisu … smooth, just right mix of chocolate & other elements … and the décor was with a rustic feel of European stone dwellings … a reminiscent of underground pubs I frequented in Bratislava. Just brings back a lot of memories …

The place is still new … but it’s more spacious than the one at 1-u, the aircond was cooler & the music … was a good feel of jazz & lounge music … (not so Italian, but it’s good enough for me)

It all came up to quite a bit, but the food was good, the atmosphere was nice & this would be something I don’t cringe to pay for once in a while, as compared to Mum’s Place … 4 stars for food but be warned, it’s not somewhere the layman should dine often
